I remember the badge, but not what was done with it.

The online Ordinary & Armorial lists only one submission for your group: the arms. So, the badge apparently got lost somewhere along the way, or was returned.

I checked all the Laurel Letters of Acceptances and Returns (LoAR) for 1991 and 1992, and found no mention of a submission for Unicorn. The Middle Kingdom web page does not have records for those years.
